ANSYS Revision Identifier Description
ANSYS revision identifiers consist of a major revision
level, a
minor revision level, a correction level, and occasionally a
special
version level. An example of how this is constructed is shown
below:
Figure omitted.
Major revision level changes indicate that new features have
been
added to the program and that some level of program architecture
change
and/or file structure has occurred. Minor revision level changes
also
indicate that new features have been added to the program, but
files are
upwardly compatible. All known error fixes are included in both
minor
and major revisions. Changes to the correction level indicate
that it is
primarily an error correction release. Special version
identifiers
indicate that one or more additional minor changes have been made
to the
program, normally to circumvent an error. Special versions are
not
general releases to all ANSYS licensees, since they typically
represent
errors occurring only on one system, a subset of our customers
who have
specific graphics devices, etc.
The ANSYS revision identifier(s) shown under "corrected in"
on the
front side of this Class3 Error Report indicates the first
possible
revision that could contain the correction. A major program
change
needed to fix an error can dictate that the next minor or major
revision
will contain the fix rather than the next correction level. For
example,
when errors were being reported while Rev. 4.3A was the latest
production
version, most Class3 error reports indicated that 4.3B was the
"corrected
in" revision. Others requiring significant code restructuring
were
reported as fixed in 4.4. Rev. 4.3B was never released, but Rev.
4.4
contained all error corrections noted as fixed in 4.3B.
An identifier indicated under "corrected in" does not
guarantee that
a general release of that revision of ANSYS will occur. It does
indicate
that the correction is known and implemented in the coding that
would be
part of that general release.
Equivalent Product Identifiers
The ANSYS family of component products occasionally
undergoes name
changes between revisions and/or changes in the functionality of
derived
products (such as ANSYS-PC/LINEAR). To minimize the potential
for
confusion in these areas, the important product name equivalences
(similar program functionality and error content) are listed
below.
ANSYS/ED contains all errors the full ANSYS
product,
shown for starting at Rev.
5.0, and
beyond, unless
otherwise
noted.
PREPPOST contains relevant the full ANSYS
product, for
errors shown for included pre- and
postprocessing
functionality

PC/LINEAR is equivalent to WS/LINEAR at Rev.

95-16
KEYWORDS: ELEM3 ELEM4 LARGE DEFLECTION
DESCRIPTION OF ERROR:
When using large deflections (NLGEOM,ON) with BEAM3 (the 2-D
elastic
beam element) or BEAM4 (3-D elastic beam element) together with a
zero
value of either bending moment of inertia (real constant IYY or
IZZ), the
results are incorrect.
FIRST INCORRECT VERSION(S):*_/ CORRECTED IN:*_/
Rev. 2.0 Rev. 5.2
ANSYS/LinearPlus Rev. 5.0A ANSYS/LinearPlus Rev. 5.2
ANSYS/ProFEA ASM Rev. 5.1 ANSYS/ProFEA ASM Rev. 5.2
SUGGESTED USER ACTION FOR RUNNING ON UNCORRECTED VERSION:
Use a very small value for moment of inertia instead of a
zero
value.
COMMENTS:
At Revision 5.2, this combination will not be allowed.
BEAM3 and BEAM4 were referred to as STIF3 and STIF4
respectively,
prior to Rev. 5.0. Large deflections were accessed with KAY,6,1
prior to
Rev. 5.0.

ERROR NO: 95-17
KEYWORDS: BOOLEAN CUT SUBTRACT LCTA ACTA VCTA
DESCRIPTION OF ERROR:
The solid modeling boolean "cut" commands do not create
separable
pieces. For example, the command ACTA creates areas with a
common line
instead of two separate coincident lines as documented.
Similarly, LCTA
creates lines with a common keypoint, and VCTA creates volumes
with a
common area.
In most cases this error is obvious. However, there may be
rare
instances where this error could lead to unanticipated results if
validation of boundary conditions and loads is bypassed before
solution,
by the user.

Rev. 5.0A Rev. 5.2

SUGGESTED USER ACTION FOR RUNNING ON UNCORRECTED VERSION:
In Rev. 5.1, replace all the solid modeling "cut" commands:
ACTA,
LCTA, and VCTA by the corresponding solid modeling command
"subtract"
commands: ASBA, LSBA, and VSBA, using the label with "sepo" in
field 3 of
the command. Note that solid model entity numbering may be
different
when using subtract commands in place of cut commands.
COMMENTS:
The ACTA, LCTA, and VCTA commands will be undocumented at
Rev. 5.2.

ERROR NO:
95-19
KEYWORDS: DAMPING UNSYMMETRIC MATRICES ELEM4 ELEM16
ELEM27
DESCRIPTION OF ERROR:
When using unsymmetric damping matrices, the reaction forces
are
incorrect. Unsymmetric damping matrices occur when using:
BEAM4 with KEYOPT(7)=1
PIPE16 with KEYOPT(7)=1
MATRIX27 with KEYOPT(2)=1 and KEYOPT(3)=5.
For BEAM4 and PIPE16, the effect of this error on the
skew-symmetric
damping matrix causes the damping forces (output with OUTPR,NLOAD
and
OUTRES,NLOAD) to have the incorrect sign.

SUGGESTED USER ACTION FOR RUNNING ON UNCORRECTED VERSION:
COMMENTS:
BEAM4, PIPE16, and MATRIX27 were referred to as STIF4,
STIF16, and
STIF27 respectively, prior to Rev. 5.0. STIF4 and STIF16 did not
have an
unsymmetric damping matrix capability (KEYOPT(7)=1) prior to Rev.
5.0.

EXTREMES
DESCRIPTION OF ERROR:
The stress extremes (S1MX, S3MN, SINTMX and SEQVMX) for
elements
PIPE16,17,18,20.59 and 60 are incorrect for some problems having
bending
and shear stresses of similar magnitude.

SUGGESTED USER ACTION FOR RUNNING ON UNCORRECTED VERSION:
Estimate the extreme stresses from the stresses printed out
at each
45 degree location around the circumference at each end of each
pipe
element.
COMMENTS:
In our experience, the errors tend to be relatively small
(of the
order of 10%), and rare (only one of over 200 tests using these
elements
showed the error).
